The business coalition pushing to fast-track construction of a new Brent Spence Bridge contends the region could save $18 billion in fuel and congestion-related costs if four years are cut off the project's completion date.

The need to expedite the $2.5 billion project is the core message of a new public education campaign launched Tuesday by the Build Our New Bridge Now coalition. The campaign supports the coalition's ongoing mission to push for legislation that almost certainly would open the door to imposing tolls on the bridge.
